Weird, Bizarre Insects or Spiders

Here's your chance to show us the really weird, bizarre beasties you've found in your photography forays. You may or may not know what they are, and other entrants or viewers might be able to assist. Macro shots welcome. Photos taken outside in the real world are preferred, but for this challenge, you may have had a reason for shooting it indoors. SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE.

Processing rules:

SIZE: Longer side of entry, MAXIMUM 1600px.

Digital photos only, with full EXIF data.

Colour only.

No HDR.

Don't remove the background.

TITLE: Give your entry a title, not just a photo number

No watermarks or forms of identification, or personal website references.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

YES! Photos entered in previous DPR challenges MAY be used in this challenge, but I would prefer you to enter new pictures. Those "not again..." shots tend to be voted down, in my experience.

Three (3) entries per person allowed, but each entry should be a different insect, spider or creepy-crawly.

If I believe the insect/spider is not very unusual or bizarre, I may suggest a withdrawal of the entry.

Comments of encouragement are welcome. Also, any identification of the creepy critter would be very welcome.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If you enter the challenge, take the time to vote on other entries! This will hopefully counteract the sandbaggers' votes which spoil the genuine results for everyone's entries.

Your complaint (along with the complaints of others regarding this entry) will be
reviewed by the challenge owner. Depending upon the nature and applicability of the
complaint, the entry may be disqualified. In extreme circumstances the user who submitted
the entry may receive a ban from the challenge or series in question.
